Let's divide 381475 by 72
We want to divide 381475 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 72

Going ahead to step 2:
38 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 381 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
381 divided by 72 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 360 from 381 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 214 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Subtracting 144 from 214 leaves us with 70.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 707 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 707 9 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 529.0
Deduct 648 from 707 and we're left with 59.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 595 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
595 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5298.0
Subtract 576 from 595 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5298.2
Subtracting 144 from 190 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
460 divided by 72 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5298.26
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
72 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5298.263
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 216 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 640 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5298.2638
Subtracting 576 from 640 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
72 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5298.26388
Deduct 576 from 640 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5298.26388, and the remainder is 6.4e-05.
